Welcoming place in a sweet location

Kristi and Ed are very attentive hosts who were communicative throughout the booking process and stay. When we arrived, they introduced us to their property which included a welcome gift basket of foods and chilled wine in the refrigerator for us. Kristi and Ed were more than gracious and willing to aid us in any way to make our stay more comfortable. The cottage was very clean and neat. The cottage’s kitchen was as well stocked as many home kitchens with dishes, basic spices, cooking utensils, toaster, coffee pot, tea kettle, microwave, pots, and pans, etc. The beds were comfortable. The shower curtain looked new and fresh. We appreciated the thoughtful toiletries in the bathroom for guests. During our stay we squeezed in watching the Women’s Final Four game which looked great on their large television, and had time for a board game that their table easily accommodated. The highlight of our time in Vermont was leaving the cottage for a time to meet up with friends who had also traveled to Vermont to watch the eclipse. The Moon and Sun did not disappoint! What an absolute treat! But, back to the cottage… If you are looking for a clean cottage, with attentive hosts, on a quiet pond, on a dirt road with other cottages nearby, where there is a good pizza place (Parker’s Pie) within a drivable distance, then this could definitely be your spot. Thank you to Kristi and Ed for your hospitality and for sharing your little slice of Vermont with us. We are appreciative.

Vermont: my new happy place

This was the most magical stay I could've hoped for. It was our first time visiting Vermont and I'm pretty sure we're spoiled now. Warm and welcoming, the property and owners were absolutely wonderful. The house actually felt like a home, as it should, so we were able to completely relax. Who knew foliage and northern lights peak at the same time. We had the pleasure of witnessing both over the pond. It was so easy to unwind and unplug, but the wifi was so strong I could also reconnect whenever I needed to get a little work done. This is the perfect place to truly get away and officially my new happy place.

Labor Day Weekend

This delightful cottage on Daniel’s Pond is fresh, clean and comfortable – and magical! On one of our canoe paddles, we sat for several minutes watching a great blue heron waiting for its lunch. The sunset reflected from the pond with magnificent pink and red radiance. Our hosts Kristi and Ed were beyond welcoming.

Daniels Pond

We were greatly pleased by this camp, owned by Kristi and Ed Bride. Beautifully located on the shore of Daniels Pond, it is very complete in every respect, including drinkable well water, heat, full views of the pond, quiet (side road), fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, Dish TV, washer and dryer, first floor master bedroom, lakeside dock, privacy from adjacent properties, etc. Access to the loft (3 beds) is by spiral staircase, and can be a bit daunting for seniors. All in all, a most delightful camp.

Nice Country Vacation

Overall, our experience at the "Getaway Cottage" was very relaxing and enjoyable. The cottage is located on a beautiful and peaceful pond with no motor boat traffic whatsoever (a rare find in Vermont). The lakefront is well appointed with Adirondack chairs and a hammock and one can spend many happy hours here reading, resting and watching the sun set. The cottage is located in the middle of miles of picturesque country and near many interesting and friendly small towns with everything you need. Its hard to beat that combination if you want a relaxing yet stimulating getaway. The size and depth of Daniels Pond makes it well suited to a refreshing dip, which is all that most people may want. Deeper and longer swims can be had right down the road at Shadow Lake or at the clear, exceptionally weed-free Crystal Lake in nearby Barton. Extras outside include the canoe and rowboat. There's also a large propane grill, though it will require a good cleaning before use. The interior of the cozy, shady cottage is both charmingly rustic and exceptionally clean. All beds are comfortable, as are the sofa and two reclining arm chairs in the living room. Basic seating on the porch is good for a brief recline and view of the pond, before heading outside for a longer session in the comfortable waterfront chairs or hammock. The hosts provided many personal touches to enhance the visit. Kristi was always friendly and available for questions or help if needed. Thank you Kristi and Ed!

Unwind and recharge

This property was perfect for our adult family. We were looking for a place in which we could exercise and spent time together. This efficient, comfortable cottage is located on back dirt roads that we spent time exploring on our bikes and on foot. The minimal car traffic and beautiful surrounding nature was a daily treat. Swimming, canoeing, and resting in the hammock at sunset while the loons swam— perfect, private and quiet with no loud motor boats to distract from the peaceful property. The cottage has comfortable beds and has everything you could need to cook meals together, unwind and enjoy your vacation. Hosts Kristi and Ed are engaged in your stay take a genuine role in making sure you are comfortable. This property gets a strong thumbs up from all of us (5 adults.)

The cottage is lovely and the hosts are even lovelier! They provided lots of reading material about the vicinity, and they are personally well-versed in things to do in the area. The kitchen and bath are well-equipped; there are many seating areas inside and outside on the nicely groomed yard. The location on the pond is perfect. We hope to make visiting "Getaway Cottage" a part of our regular travel schedule!

Weekend at Getaway home!!

A house is built with bricks and wood but a home is built with love!! Such was the atmosphere we got during our stay. Kristie and Ed were excellent and loving host. We were welcomed with a gift basket and Kristiade sure before and during our stay we were well taken care off. They had the house toasty warm so my in laws from India would t feel cold. They checken on us the next day to make sure we slept alright. Good tips on the scenic spots and restaurants to try while we stayed. Best of all was they were for us, if in case we need them. Very prompt . The property was very clean, warm, and had all the amenities a family would need. Beautiful location right on the lake and the sunset was something. Lounging in the backyard and enjoying the sunset was a memorable experience for us. It was a great weekend made very memorable by Krists and Ed’s hospitality!! We look forward to visiting sometime in the future!!

Indeed perfect getaway

EXACTLY as pictured. I felt like I had already been there when we walked in! Everything was so clean and thoughtfully organized. All cooking and household items were organized and abundant. Kristi greeted us with welcome items and a treat the night before our departure. A wonderful touch. There was a detailed “how to” book for the house and local highlights. We only had a few questions which were answered very promptly via text. WiFi and all systems worked. Too cold/wet for swimming but we did take a long walk from map provided (19,000 steps woo!) Other highlight was loon serenade and on a late-night visit to the dock we disturbed a beaver at work (we heard plunge into lake and saw his beaver “Home Depot” materials the next morning). There is one BR on 1st floor but only caution is that you need to be somewhat nimble for the circular staircase to the loft. It’s beautiful snd roomy upstairs w It’s own picture window of the lake! Highly recommended from site to hospitality!

Slice of Heaven

Wonderful week at the Getaway Cottage. Kristi and Ed were incredibly responsive and generous hosts who anticipated our every need. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and sent off with chocolate covered strawberries. The house is immaculate, very comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed-even with toothbrushes-in case we forgot our own. The back of the house opens onto a grassy lawn, fronted by Daniel’s Pond, a private dock, and a canoe and rowboat for the guests’ use. Though close to other houses the hedges make it completely private. The cherry on top is the hammock under a canopy of leaves overlooking the water. Lying on the hammock, reading a book, and watching the sunset was truly a slice of heaven. It was a wonderful restorative time in the gorgeous Northeast Kingdom of Vt. and we look forward to returning.

Perfect spot for relaxation

This lakeside cottage in the mountains of northwest Vermont is great for a relaxing escape. Located on Daniels Pond, a small picturesque lake, there is a rowboat and canoe for enjoying the water, or you can take in the view from the dock, in the beautiful back yard with a hammock, or from inside on the porch. Sunsets are spectacular. The cottage is well-appointed and comfortable, and the hosts truly go above and beyond to take care of everything for your stay. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay in the country with outdoor activities.
